Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

Published: Jan 20, 2008

Introduction

So GTA: Vice City wasn't
enough for you, huh? Wanted a bigger challenge, did you? Need to play an almost
unlimited amount of Grand Theft Auto? Well,
Rockstar has answered your prayers. With breadth and scope surpassing anything
on the PS2, San Andreas is not only great... it's
enormous! What exactly are you in for? Read on...

This massive game spans the entire state of San Andreas,
with visits to three major cities patterned on real-life counterparts. There's
Los Santos (based on Los Angeles), a gritty blur of smog and violence; San
Fierro (based on San Francisco), and Las Venturas (based on Las Vegas), a
midnight wonderland crawling with money, sex and corruption.

Three cities would have been more than enough to keep
gamers busy for months, but Rockstar went and did it... adding huge chunks of
countryside that link all the areas together. Contained within this massive
landscape is a helluva lot of game. There are dozens of missions, hundreds of
secrets, tons of vehicles and weapons, and all kinds of new stuff to do.

Stuff like recruiting gang members, swimming, building
property, riding bikes, eating, working out, getting a haircut, attracting the
ladies and much, much more. And we've got the guide to it all right here. Over
the next couple of weeks, we'll be expanding on what's already here to make this
the ultimate GTA: SA resource on the web.

Here's what you'll find inside:

Basics on
everything from eating right, checking stats, leveling up skills, and much,
much more.
